There are three main landowners: Arcus (formerly Forth Ports), National Grid plc and City of Edinburgh Council. Since the area was masterplanned in the early 2000s it has undergone significant change with approximately 1400 new homes in the Granton area, new food retail stores, the new Telford College at Granton, and approximately of commercial office space.
A new road, Waterfront Avenue, has been constructed at Granton along with a public park as part of National Grid's Forthquarter development.
Following the recession of 2008 a new Area Development Framework has been prepared by the planning authority reflecting a flexible approach to future development.
A new waterside promenade has started which will link the river Almond at Cramond to the Esk at Joppa allowing access to 18 kilometres of walkway/cycleway.
